Derby Porcelain Vase with May Blossom Decoration, Circa 1770-75

Derby Porcelain Vase with May Blossom Decoration.

Derby Factory, Derby Porcelain Shaped Vase and Cover with May Blossom Decoration, 1770-75.

Porcelain.

The four-sided shaped Baluster vase and cover with square-shaped neck and foot is designed with a design of multiple applied tightly packed May blossoms or Mayflowers ( Schneeballen) with yellow stamen and a tint of aqua blue to the edge of each flower while the ground behind has a light purple wash creating a stunning effect after the Meissen Schneeballen ware.

Encircling the vase is a leafy vine with green leaves and clusters of bright red berries. The domed finial of the cover is similarly decorated except there is only a cluster of red berries surrounded by leaves as the handle. The foot and the edge of the cover's rim are painted with a gold and white scalloped design.

Reference: Derby Porcelain, 1750-1798, Gilbert Bradley, Page 101, #48 for a garniture of three vases almost identical to this one which is in the Derby Museum & Art Gallery. (See attached photo).
